This process template section identifies the file naming parameters during final output.

Notes: 

  • If you are using TIFF Direct and want to resend a job to output with different output process template settings, you should create separate output process templates for each case with different file naming conventions (Processed File options section > Use Custom File Naming check box and Filename Template box) and/or different device paths (Device section > Device Path).
  • If you are using both TIFF Direct and standard TIFF connectivity, you should create separate output process templates for each type of connectivity with different file naming conventions (Processed File options section > Use Custom File Naming check box and Filename Template box) and/or different device paths (Device section > Device Path).

Use Prinergy-defined File Naming

Select to use the default file naming convention for output files.

Maximum Characters From Job Name

Type the maximum number of characters for the job name part of the file name.
Note: Share a maximum of 18 characters between the Maximum Characters From Job Name box and the From Imposition Plan Name box.

From Imposition Plan Name

Type the maximum number of characters for the imposition plan name part of the file name. 
Note: Share a maximum of 18 characters between the Maximum Characters From Job Name box and the From Imposition Plan Name box.

Respect Mac Filenames

Select to shorten Prinergy file names to 31 characters or less, because Macintosh file names are restricted to a length of 31 characters.

For imposition output and final output, the Prinergy file name consists of:

    • 18 characters for the job name and imposition name (including periods)
    • 13 characters for surface, version, and color extensions (including the periods that separate each item)

For example, jobname.imposname.1A.vers.M.VPS
When you select this check box, Prinergy shortens the first part of the file name. You specify the maximum number of characters for the job name in the Maximum Characters From Job Name box. You specify the maximum number of characters for the imposition name in the From Imposition Plan Name box. 
When the Respect Mac Filenames check box is selected, spot colors are represented in the file name by an index number.
When the Respect Mac Filenames check box is cleared, the full spot color name is added to the output file name, with the word PANTONE abbreviated to PMS, and the CVC or CV suffix removed.

Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name

Select if you want to use the newer files when multiple files have the same name.
Available when Job-Relative File is selected in the Output Type box.

Select this check box if you want to specify the output file names.

Note: If you select this check box:

    • And if you want to respect Macintosh file names, you must restrict each tag in the Filename Template box, so that the longest possible file name is 31 characters or less.
    • Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name is selected. If you want to generate and keep iterations of a file, include a %version% tag in the Filename Template box.

Filename Template

(See About custom file naming)
Type the file name format for the output files.
